Who We Are

The Rebel is the Healer in Disguise.

Sacred Rebel Pilates is not just a studio, it's a sanctuary.

Welcome to Sacred Rebel Pilates, a boutique reformer Pilates studio in Belmar, New Jersey, where mindful movement meets soulful strength. We’re more than a fitness studio — we’re a sacred space for healing, transformation, and embodied empowerment.

Founded by Cat King, a trauma-informed, Balanced Body Certified instructor, Sacred Rebel Pilates was created for those seeking a deeper connection to themselves through movement - free from judgment, pressure, or perfectionism. Our classes blend the precision of classical Pilates with modern, mindful practices that support physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

  • I was a bit skeptical and nervous about taking a Pilates class since I haven’t done one in quite some time. Cat (owner) was so warm, knowledgeable and supportive it made my 50 minutes fly by! I am completely sold and look forward to many more classes. I highly recommend it!

    Lindsay K.

  • I've tried a few Pilates studios over the years, but working with Cat has been a game changer. Her classes are the perfect balance of challenging and restorative — I always leave feeling stronger, more centered, and genuinely cared for. Cat has a way of making everyone feel welcome, no matter your experience level. She offers clear guidance, thoughtful corrections, and a calm energy that sets the tone for the whole class. The studio itself is clean, inviting, and well-equipped. If you're looking for a supportive space to build strength and reconnect with your body, I can't recommend this studio — and Cat — enough!

  • This was my first try at reformer pilates, and I absolutely loved it! Cat was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, walking me through how to use the reformer and correcting my form as needed. I also really appreciated the small class size, which made the experience feel more personal and allowed for more 1:1 instruction time. Looking forward to my next class!
